KARE 11-TV meteorologist and conservationist Sven Sundgaard will be the keynote speaker on “Climate Change by the Numbers”.

Friday’s concurrent sessions include two incredible Earth science teachers: Mary Colson and Ken Fiscus. Mary is a MN science standards co-chair, and she will explore ways to meet the new state science standards and benchmarks. Ken will share creative ways to teach moon phases and probe student understanding. Other concurrent sessions feature Dr. George Hudak of NRRI on engineering sustainable mineral resources and Dr. Philip Schoeneberger of USDA-NRCS on Soil Hydrology.
